Brownie Mix Cookies (Chewy & Fudgy)
My brownie mix cookies come together with 5 ingredients. I start with a box of brownie mix, then stir in melted butter, an egg, and a splash of milk, fold in chocolate chips, and chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. They turn out chewy and fudgy like a brownie, but in a cookie you can grab with one hand.

Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 3 months.
Pull them out of the oven when the edges are set, but the top still appears wet. This gives them that fudgy texture. If they're overbaked, they start to turn dry.
The chilling is mandatory to make sure the cookies don't spread. They must chill for at least 30 minutes, but even overnight is okay.
